These standards are being used for instruction and assessment in North Carolina’s public schools this school year for the first time.
“This site brings together a variety of resources in a single location, serving as a one-stop portal meant to meet the various needs of teachers during this implementation process,” said Kay Ringer, a doctoral candidate in the School of Education and author of the guide.
The guide, available at http://www.learnnc.org/lp/editions/math-CCSS-resources, explains key components of the standards, identifies professional development opportunities for teachers and supports parents in helping their children meet the standards.
